Haitianyise Seafood (海天一色海鲜)

Haitianyise Seafood (海天一色海鲜) is a seafront seafood restaurant at No. 1 Haipo Road, about 500 metres south of Pigeon Nest Park in Beidaihe District, Qinhuangdao, on the Bohai Sea coast of Hebei province. Beidaihe has been a summer resort since the late nineteenth century and fills with holidaymakers from Beijing and Tianjin between June and September, so seafood restaurants in the district follow a strongly seasonal rhythm. The cuisine is Bohai Sea seafood, cooked to order and priced by the catch, with a menu that centres on shellfish, prawns and fish. The signature dishes are steamed Bohai clams (清蒸蛤蜊), at about 40 to 70 yuan, a simple preparation that lets the freshness of the shellfish come through, and salt-baked prawns (盐焗大虾), priced by weight at about 80 to 150 yuan per 500 grams. Because many items are sold by weight, the final bill depends on the day's market price, and diners can ask to see and weigh the seafood before it is cooked. The dining room offers sea views, a relaxed resort mood and a lively, moderately loud atmosphere at peak season, with a casual dress code suited to beachgoers. The beverage list typically includes beer, which is the usual companion to Bohai shellfish, along with tea and soft drinks; no distinctive wine programme is documented. The restaurant is open from about 10:00 AM to 9:30 PM and keeps seasonal hours, busiest from June to September. Reservations are recommended during the summer resort season, by phone on 0335-4688887, particularly for dinner and at weekends. Outside the high season the restaurant is quieter and walk-ins are generally easy. The proximity to Pigeon Nest Park makes it a convenient meal after a morning on the coast.
